dm-integrity stores checksums of the data written to an
LV, and returns an error if data read from the LV does
not match the previously saved checksum. When used on
raid images, dm-raid will correct the error by reading
the block from another image, and the device user sees
no error. The integrity metadata (checksums) are stored
on an internal LV allocated by lvm for each linear image.
The internal LV is allocated on the same PV as the image.
Create a raid LV with an integrity layer over each
raid image (for raid levels 1,4,5,6,10):
lvcreate --type raidN --raidintegrity y [options]
Add an integrity layer to images of an existing raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity y LV
Remove the integrity layer from images of a raid LV:
lvconvert --raidintegrity n LV
Settings
Use --raidintegritymode journal|bitmap (journal is default)
to configure the method used by dm-integrity to ensure
crash consistency.
Initialization
When integrity is added to an LV, the kernel needs to
initialize the integrity metadata/checksums for all blocks
in the LV. The data corruption checking performed by
dm-integrity will only operate on areas of the LV that
are already initialized. The progress of integrity
initialization is reported by the "syncpercent" LV
reporting field (and under the Cpy%Sync lvs column.)
Example: create a raid1 LV with integrity:
$ lvcreate --type raid1 -m1 --raidintegrity y -n rr -L1G foo
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_0_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_0_imeta" created.
Creating integrity metadata LV rr_rimage_1_imeta with size 12.00 MiB.
Logical volume "rr_rimage_1_imeta" created.
Logical volume "rr" created.
$ lvs -a foo

rr foo rwi-a-r--- 1.00g 4.93
[rr_rimage_0] foo gwi-aor--- 1.00g [rr_rimage_0_iorig] 41.02

[rr_rimage_1_iorig] foo -wi-ao---- 1.00g

[rr_rmeta_1] foo ewi-aor--- 4.00m
lvm2 supports thin-pool to be later used by other tools doing
virtual volumes themself (i.e. docker) - in this case we
shall not validate transaction Id - is this is used by
other tools and lvm2 keeps value 0 - so the transationId
validation need to be skipped in this case.
Prevent attaching writecache to an active LV until
we can determine the block size of the fs on the LV,
and use that to enforce an appropriate writecache
block size. Changing the block size under a mounted
fs can cause panic/corruption.
Currently the error messages are not clear. This very easy to
guide user to execute "--removemissing --force", it is dangerous
and will make the LVs to be destroied.

Since VDO is also pool, the old if() case missed to know about this,
and executed unnecesserily initialization of cache pool variables.
This was usually harmless when using 'smaller' sizes of VDO pools,
but for big VDO pool size, we were reporting senseless messages
about big cache chunk sizes.
To write a new/repaired pv_header and label_header:
pvck --repairtype pv_header --file <file> <device>
This uses the metadata input file to find the PV UUID,
device size, and data offset.
To write new/repaired metadata text and mda_header:
pvck --repairtype metadata --file <file> <device>
This requires a good pv_header which points to one or two
metadata areas. Any metadata areas referenced by the
pv_header are updated with the specified metadata and
a new mda_header. "--settings mda_num=1|2" can be used
to select one mda to repair.
To combine all header and metadata repairs:
pvck --repair --file <file> <device>
It's best to use a raw metadata file as input, that was
extracted from another PV in the same VG (or from another
metadata area on the same PV.) pvck will also accept a
metadata backup file, but that will produce metadata that
is not identical to other metadata copies on other PVs
and other areas. So, when using a backup file, consider
using it to update metadata on all PVs/areas.
To get a raw metadata file to use for the repair, see
pvck --dump metadata|metadata_search.
List all instances of metadata from the metadata area:
pvck --dump metadata_search <device>
Save one instance of metadata at the given offset to
the specified file (this file can be used for repair):
pvck --dump metadata_search --file <file>
--settings "metadata_offset=<off>" <device>
using --settings:
mda_offset=<offset> mda_size=<size> can be used
in place of the offset/size that normally come
from headers.
metadata_offset=<offset> prints/saves one instance
of metadata text at the given offset, in
metadata_all or metadata_search.

lvs can use the scanning optimization again since it has
been changed in:
"scanning: optimize by checking text offset and checksum"
The kernel MD runtime requires region size to be larger than stripe size
on striped raid layouts, thus the dm-raid target's constructor rejects
such request.
This causes e.g. an 'lvcreate --type raid10 -i3 -I4096 -R2048 -n lv vg' to fail.
Avoid failing late in the kernel by enforcing region size to be
larger or equal to stripe size.

When pvcreate/pvremove prompt the user, they first release
the global lock, then acquire it again after the prompt,
to avoid blocking other commands while waiting for a user
response. This release/reacquire changes the locking
order with respect to the hints flock (and potentially other
locks). So, to avoid deadlock, use a nonblocking request
when reacquiring the global lock.
The scanning optimization can produce warnings from
'lvs' when run concurrently with commands modifying LVs,
so disable the optimization until it can be improved.
Without the scanning optimization, lvs will always
read all PVs twice:
1. read metadata from all PVs, saving it in memory
2. for each VG
3. lock VG
4. reread metadata from all PVs in VG, replacing metadata
saved from step 1
5. run command on VG
6. unlock VG
The optimization would usually cause step 4 to be skipped,
and PVs would be read only once.
Running the command in step 5 using metadata that was not
read under the VG lock is usually fine, except for the
fact that lvs attempts to validate the metadata by comparing
it to current dm state. If other commands are modifying dm
state while lvs is running, lvs may see differences between
metadata from step 1 and dm state checked during step 5,
and print warnings.
(A better fix may be to detect the concurrent change and
fall back to rereading metadata in step 4 only when needed.)
